Assassin's Creed Comet May Star a Templar in North America

Assassin's Creed Comet, the alleged Xbox 360/PS3 tie-in to this fall's Assassin's Creed Unity, will allegedly take place in North America, feature nautical exploration, and star a playable Templar.

GameBlog reported that Comet stars Shay, a sailor and Templar, which Kotaku corroborated with sources.

Kotaku also claims Comet will take players to 1758 New York, where Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag's Adewalé, Assassin's Creed III's Haytham Kenway, and other familiar Assassin's Creed stars play various roles. Comet is, according to GameBlog, a direct sequel to Black Flag.

This information follows an earlier leak stating that Assassin's Creed Unity would release on Xbox One, PS4, and PC, while Comet, a separate, standalone spinoff, would come to Xbox 360 and PS3.
